NorCal is a driver's paradise. I can't think of a better place to drive a 1 or a better car for NorCal roads (I may be biased:biggrin
. In short, I'd say "head for the hills!" You can't go wrong.
Here's a list of my favorites:
- Skyline Blvd in Oakland/Berkeley Hills
- Redwood Road, from Skyline Blvd (Oakland) to Castro Valley
- Napa and Sonoma wine country
- Hwy 1, Marin Country to Medicino County
- Hwy 101, Willits to Oregon border
- Hwy 211 (CA's "Lost Coast" --quite a few car commercials shot there)
- Hwy 36 (famous for it's twisties)
- Hwy 299, Arcata to Redding
- Hwy 44, Redding to Mt. Shasta to Susanville (empty with lots of variety)
- Sears Point (I mean Infineon Raceway)
- Thunderhill Park Raceway
Cheers!
